17 Drinks To Order From Starbucks' Secret Menu

Those who don’t believe you can improve upon perfection have not met the Starbucks secret menu drinks. Thanks to the Internet — and many creative and caffeinated humans — we are discovering more secret Starbucks menu items every day. Maybe “secret” is the wrong word since many of these menu items are emerging from obscurity, making their presence known in drive thru lines and the Starbucks app.

Many of these ideas hail from the Starbucks Secret Menu site, though the site might merit a name change to Starbucks If-You're-Ballsy-Enough-to-Ask-for-It Menu. I imagine a lot of this genius comes with being such a diehard fan of Starbucks that you have an innate knowledge of what kind of sugar syrups and flavor options are available to you. That, or some of these items are coming from the knowledgeable and daring baristas themselves. Either way, it's clear that these unsung heroes have the discerning taste palate and creative mastery that lends to drink creation in the first place.

There's a strong chance that you are content with whatever your No. 1 Starbucks pick happens to be, and you don't want to venture beyond the comfort of your familiar caffeinated pastures. But if you think you can handle shaking things up, here are a few drinks you can ask for, if you're willing to get specific:
